Real Kids Swimwear Facts:

• Sunskins Swimwear was one of Western Australia's first sun protective swimwear brands for kids, established in 1991.

• Sunskins Swimwear is made of UPF 50+ fabric* that is chlorine resistant and comes in a range of styles and bright colours so children can be fashionable, comfortable and sunsafe when swimming for fun and fitness.

• UPF 50+ fabric* used in Sunskins Swimwear has the highest level of UV protection available on the market and provides ‘excellent’ sun protection by SunSmart standards.₁

• Australia experiences some of the highest levels of solar ultraviolet radiation in the world due to its geographical position. At the beach or pool, children should be protected from the sun with swimwear that covers their arms and legs such as Swim Shorts or a Rash Vest.₂

• One blistering sunburn in childhood can double a person's lifetime chances of developing serious forms of skin cancer₃. Children should be covered with sunscreen and swimwear made of sun protective material.

• Clothing protects the skin from ultraviolet (UV) radiation by creating a barrier between the skin and the sun, only sun protective clothing will create this barrier – a wet t-shirt will not.

• The harsh effects of chlorine can wear out children’s swimwear faster than the children themselves. To maximise the life of swimwear parents should purchase chlorine resistant fabrics.

Sunskins sun protection swimwear can be purchased on line, from the factory store in Osborne Park WA

or from selected pharmacies and swim centres.
